PARTY LINE: Willie and Sophia both in one week!

Published: Wednesday, July 23, 2014 at 05:21 PM.

Willie Nelson shows up at Marie's Bistro last week and gets up and sings? Shut the front door! Well, everyone thought it was Willie, but Marie said it was an impersonator from Vegas.

And, then we have Demetrius Fuller out in
California
having dinner with Sophia Loren? Not that demure D would do any name dropping ... but, he says the event honoring the actress's 80th birthday was emceed by Whoopi Goldberg and Robert Redford. Oh, and Francis Ford Coppola and Newt Gingrich were also there.

I am feeling a tad left out.

But, hey, I got to attend a wine dinner at The Vue last week, so, all is well. The wine dinner featured Justin wines paired with Chef Gio's dishes. The fried mozzarella salad was great! John Stasko, Tom and Michelle Fillingim, Donna and Ed Macdonald, Mark and Allison Larson, Rick and Karen Schoonover, John and Connie Yarbro were some who enjoyed.
